Dynamic Analysis and Replanning Tool

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Dynamic Analysis and Replanning Tool, commonly abbreviated to DART, is an

U.S. military to optimize and schedule the transportation of supplies or personnel and solve other logistical
problems.

DART uses intelligent agents to aid decision support systems located at the U.S. Transportation and European Commands.[2] It integrates a set of intelligent data processing agents and database management systems to give planners the ability to rapidly evaluate plans for logistical feasibility. By automating evaluation of these processes DART decreases the cost and time required to implement decisions.[3]

DART achieved logistical solutions that surprised many military planners. Introduced in 1991, DART had by 1995 offset the monetary equivalent of all funds DARPA had channeled into AI research for the previous 30 years combined.[2][4]

Development and introduction

DARPA funded the

Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War.[5]
[8]

Impact

Directly following its launch, DART solved several logistical nightmares, saving the military millions of dollars.

Desert Storm.[5] DART quickly proved its value by improving upon existing plans of the U.S. military. What surprised many observers was DART's ability to adapt plans rapidly in a crisis environment.[3]

DART's success led to the development of other military planning agents such as:
